Benefits of technology

The present invention is about an electrical connector for flat conductive members. The connector has a movable member that is designed to allow the flat conductive member to pass through during pull-out. The movable member has a pressure receiving portion that comes into contact with the engaged portion of the flat conductive member during pull-out, creating a space that allows the engaged portion to pass through. This design ensures that the engaged portion passes through the space without getting stuck or getting hit during pull-out. The operator does not have to move the movable member back from the open position to the close position after pulling out the flat conductive member from the electrical connector. The technical effect of this design is that it facilitates the pull-out of flat conductive members from the electrical connector.

Problems solved by technology

However, when the movable member stays being lifted at the open position, the movable member becomes an obstacle for connecting other electronic components on the circuit board, on which the conventional electrical connector is mounted.
When it is necessary to connect a large number of electronic components, it is necessary to rotate the movable member to the close position each time, thereby making it difficult to simplify the connection operation, and to reduce an amount of work as much as possible.

Abstract

An electrical connector is to be connected to a flat conductive member. The electrical connector includes a housing including a receiving portion for receiving the flat conductive member; terminals arranged in the housing in a terminal arrangement direction; and a movable member rotatable between an open position and a close position relative to the housing. The movable member includes an engaging portion for engaging an engaged portion when the movable member is situated at the close portion. The movable member includes a pressure receiving portion for abutting against the engaged portion when the movable member is situated at the open portion. The movable member includes a passing allowing space between the engaging portion and the pressure receiving portion for allowing the engaged portion to pass through. The engaged portion passes through the passing allowing space when the movable member is rotated toward the close position.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION AND RELATED ART STATEMENT[0001]The present invention relates to an electrical connector to be connected to a flat conductive member. More specifically, the present invention relates to an electrical connector to be mounted on a mounting surface of a flat conductive member such as a circuit board and the like, so that the electrical connector is connected to the flat conductive member.[0002]Patent Reference has disclosed a conventional electrical connector to be connected to a flat conductive member. The flat conductive member is inserted and pulled in a front-and-back direction, which is a direction horizontal to a mounting surface of a circuit board.[0003]The conventional electrical connector disclosed in Patent Reference includes a housing, a plurality of terminals, and a movable member (a shell). The housing extends along the mounting surface in a direction perpendicular to the front-and-back direction as a longitudinal direction thereof. The terminals...
